Excerpt from Life and Times of John Wycliffe: The Morning Star of the Reformation It is much to be hoped that the increased attention now given to the Reformer's character and writings under the impulse of the Quincentenary Commemor ation of his death in 1384 will lead not only to a demand for the publication of his hitherto unprinted works, but to an estimate of his place in history which shall deepen our gratitude to God for the great teachers by whom He has spoken to every age, and awaken a deeper comprehension of the long and wonderful chain of events by which faith and freedom have been secured in our own beloved country.
